Year 4 recount “Yay!Another day at school’’ Let me tell you a few things I’ve done this year. Like pyjama day, the disco and gala day.
On pyjama day most of the class came in funky pyjamas. Me and my friends danced to the loud music (even though we were being spastic) All of my friends were going crazy on that day.
Now I’m going to talk about the disco. So you might want to put on your dance suit! My friend called Dun Dun Dunn … Tehya of course came with me to the disco. The disco ball was as bright as a shooting star speeding across the night sky.
Oh but the next I am going to talk about will get even better. It’s time to announce what I am going to talk to you, but first would you like some bright pink candy floss. “Woo who it’s gala day” Cakes, sweets, lollies all these yummy things to eat. “Don’t put so much pressure on a little girl”
The last thing I am going to talk about my get a little boring, but I’ll fix that in one minute. My over all thing I enjoyed this year though was writing. I hate to tell you this but it is almost the end.
Year 4 was a great and enjoyable year. This year could never get any better.

Year 4!!!!!
Yah! Year four is awesome! I’m going tell you what I’ve done this year like pj day, gala, disco and move and groove.
Yay I was so glad when it was pygama day because I didn’t have to get dressed in the morning.
I put on my Paris pygama’s to school my best pygama’s I liked was Trinty’s pjs I also liked Eden’s aswell. What we shared was pillows and favorite books but sadly I didn’t bring a book or pillow but I wanted to bring pillow pet and my favorite book the wizard’s school of magic.
Gala day. Gala day is my favorite day because you get lots of lollies I went to the gala with my sister Kyle and my dad Thys I brought a lolie necklace and at the mystery bottle I got water I wanted to get coke cola which is coke by the way. But I think water is good to get when your thirsty.
Party time! It’s the disco! I put on my clothes with a wig? I didn’t know why I wore a wig? I danced with Trinity Paige in the shining lights. It felt like I was dancing with a boy. By Heydi
YEAR 4!!
‘Yay year four!This is so awesome. At wakaaranga in awesome year 4 with my teacher Mrs Freeman. Botanical gardens,Stardome were my highlights.
In exciting term 1 we went to the botanical gardens. I was so excited. My favourite part was when we cooked sausages in a pan but my least favourite part was when we lost Andrea and we had to run round like it was cross country. Then we went to where they all were there, even Andrea. Going to the botanical gardens was as fun as going to a theme park.
During term 2 suddenly the teacher announced we were going to star dome! Yay I love the star dome. I can’t wait to go. Two weeks later, once every one brought their pink permission slips back. As we got into the bus I got excited as a bunny getting a piece of carrot. When we got there we went straight to the dome room. The dome room is like a hollow hemisphere. My favourite part was watching the movie about dinosaurs. Sadly my least favourite part was when my finger got hit by the black hole model.
I’m really glad my teacher was Mrs Freeman. I can’t wait till year 5. By Daniel
Year Four Recount
Year four is awesome! In two thousand and fourteen, when I was in year four, the best year ever, my fantastic teacher Mrs Freeman was teaching me. Pyjama Wednesday, grandparent’s day and athletics were my favourite activities.
First, pyjama Wednesday in term two. Pyjama Wednesday was when you had to wear your warm pyjamas to school for the whole day. We did buddy reading, sharing and more. I was cold but also happy.
Next, grandparent’s day. We were making musical instruments with the grandparents or someone special in your life. The grandparents were as smart as owls. At lunch time, I was sitting with my kind friend Jason and his grandparents. We were talking about this game called Minecraft while I was eating my delicious, chicken sandwich. Then we started playing Minecraft after lunch eating.
Finally, athletics. I was as cold as someone frozen in ice in my athletics clothes outside. I also had to sit on a wet tiger turf which got my bottom wet. My first activity was long jump, my favourite activity. It was my favourite activity because I made it into the semi-finals and there was sprinting. After that, we walked towards the sprints activity. I love sprinting very much but I didn’t make it into the semi finals. At least I tried my best. Then we ran towards the soft ball throw activity. It was really sad because I was the only person disqualified. I hated soft ball throw. The last activity finally arrived. I was as tired like a snail who went one mile. The hurdles. I felt nervous but I was against easy people to beat so I felt less nervous. My awesome race has begun, I started sprinting like a cheetah and I crossed the finish line and came first. Sadly I lost on my second race. I was really tired so my heart beats were quick, the sound of breathing through my mouth made me want to do it all again.
I loved everything in year and I also loved my fantastic teacher, Mrs Freeman. Hope year five is like year four. By Shiming
Botanical gardens
We are going to the botanical gardens I hope its going to be great. Hopefully the long and boring bus trip is worth it.
First we walked to the camping site then we made group’s I was with Vaughan’s mum. After that we cooked sausages when I was waiting patiently for my sausages I heard the sizzling of the sausage but when I ate it I said mmm.
Next we made our tents I didn’t know how to make tents so all I did was put the sticks in to hold so all I did was put the sticks in to hold it up.
Then we did orienteering we grabbed maps to find flags and next to the flags was paper with a code we had to crack once we cracked the code we had to go back to the camp site and get another we ran round the rugged rocks.
Finally we went tramping it was a long walk my socks were swimming when I was walking on the track
‘puff puff puff these stairs are steep.’ When we came back we found berries and they tasted as delicious as a mud cake.
Overall I think that the day was outstanding you should go there one day.

Year 4 Recount “Hear we go again”. Dancing is not my thing but…I have to do it. Move and Grove was fun in a way but I still hated it. We practised and practised for weeks sometimes it got boring. I recon most of 5B were over it by the time we had to perform our show. Today I am going to tell you about Election Day, I.C.T. and the Gala.
A subject I did not like was…5B Election Day! Trin Marcus Steph and me were in a group. Gee it was so hard to get a computer. We worked on Thing Link. On Thing link you have to make your own icons. I did not like 5B Election Day because it was hard to find websites to reach on which made it difficult. Then we had to vote for the best party.
I loved I.C.T. particularly when the people on Story Online read books to us. Blend Spaces was fun but was not the best. We did our Blend Spaces on our culture. There was one group for South Africa and Philippians and China and Pacific Island there was two groups for New Zealand. But over all I liked … Gonoodle it was the best.
Sausage Sizzle, Hot Roads, Lucky Dip, Laser Skirmish, Chips, Candy Floss, Fizzy Drinks, Face Pant, MagicianImpossible, I loved Magician Impossible I even had a race through it with Thomas. The Gala was … SUPERBER! This year Wakaaranga Schools Candy Floss was as sticky as a sucked lollipop.

Ring ring the bell goes for home time as I say goodbye to my friends I remember those days of fun like clay animals, ICT Pyjama day and recorder
This year my favourite was clay animals. For planning we had to write things about what we like to do for example sleeping and lying around you might want to make a clay sloth. I figured I have a lot in common with penguins. I made my penguin look like it was gliding on the ice. I thought the wet clay felt like silk. Mrs Murray said my penguin looked realistic she said “Molly would you like to take your clay Animal to Mr. Jenkin ? ”
We also did a lot of ICT. We did blend spaces about our culture, advertisements for the gala, publishing stories, mathletics and storybird. This year learnt how to print my work. My favourite website was thinglink
I n term 3 all the fabulous year 4s came to school in their pjs “Hey Alwyn I have those movie star pjs at home” I didn’t like my onsie because on the playground a girl said my onsie looked stupid. We where aloud to bring a teddy to school. I brang Mr. beeps.
In term four we where learning to play the recorder. I didn’t like it when Mrs Freeman taught us some things that I already knew but she also taught me some new songs like jungle swing, Mary had a little lamb, dinner time and skateboarding.
This year was as awesome as a roller coaster at rainbows end.

Year four recount
“Yay” it’s nearly the Christmas holidays that means no school!! Ok since I’m in a good mood, I’ll tell you what I did in year four. We had a gala, P.G day and Move and groove.
Why is every body in pyjamas? Oh now I remember its pyjama day. On pyjama day everybody was wearing pyjamas and we got to share our favourite books and soft toys. The best part was buddy reading with the year two’s. Now I’m going talk to you about the gala.
Gala day is finally here!! I’ve been waiting for ages when we got there, their was almost no shops but after I stopped playing on the new play ground. All the shops were up I bought 14 mystery keys but I didn’t win I win I was so angry I went straight home. I’m going to talk to you about move and groove now.
Although there was some good things I sill hate school!!
By: You Dao
Year 4 recount
Yay! School is nearly finished! This year wasn't all bad though, things like the gala, game day and the disco were good. I'll tell you about it.
The disco was in term 2. It was very noisy. There were hundreds of people dancing in the hall. The noise was deafening. It sounded like a herd of elephants stampeding. The disco ball was so bright I almost turned blind.
Game day was on the last day of term 2. Almost everybody brought games to play. I liked it because we did very little school work. I played Cluedo almost all day. At the end of the day we watched where the Wild Things Are.
The gala was in term 3.The streets were so crowded so we had to park very far away. I was so hot by the time I got to the school. It was twelve o’clock so people were going already. I played Laser Skirmish with You Dao and Frederick. Jant wasn't playing but he ran around jumping onto the blow up walls like a hyper active little bunny. I ate a cup of hot chips, but the person who made it put so much salt so the tomato sauce turned white!
This year was okay. Some things were good other things were bad. I hope next year will be like this year or even better.
Botanical Gardens Visit
On Tuesday the 4th of March smart 5b and not so smart 5d went to the Botanical Gardens to learn how to survive in the wild ,by orienteering, camping and tramping, we got there by the noisy bus.
My first annoying activity was orienteering
However me and my fantastic group got
Lost, because on the sheet of letters.It said
Ep but it was actually fp so we went everywhere looking for it, then we found out it was fp so,orienteering was annoying.
My second tiring activity was tramping, it was tiring because there were lots of steep stairs going up but at the top there were some great views,then we went down to the bottom and the 40min-30min
Walk ended I was so drowsy at the end,so tramping was tiring.
My third delicious activity was cooking sausages and wonderfully putting up the tent.First we cooked the sausages over a fire; me and Jamie [a friend in my group] were cooking together we cooked three mouth-watering sausages one for me,one for Jamie and one for my mum she came on the trip too.Next we put up the tent.It was hard work because it kept on falling over and it was a small tent and we tried to fit seven nical Gardens Visit people in it.
Then we took it down packed up and and went on the bus back to school after the trip I felt lazy,tired and most of all fantastic that I visited the Auckland Botanical Gardens.By Jason C
Along time ago an ugly, huge eared green alien crash landed on an unknown island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it was so hot and sandy.
The alien was so miserable because his blue, fancy, fast space pod crashed into the island. He said”oh no my space pod crashed on this stupid island!”
Suddenly he saw a rich, smart, brown skinned boy sailing on a blue and green fast boat to the island. Five minutes later he eventually gets there and said”How ya doing mate” shouted the boy. “Fine except my space pod is broken’ said the alien.’’I will help you fish for nuts and bolts. One hour later they finished the space pod and lived happily ever after.
From that terrible day on the alien never came back to earth and the boy well you will just have to wait and see in the next story.

It all started like this long deep in forest in a broom stick shaped cottage . The owner of the house was a witch with red hair . I know what your thinking don’t worry she was a friendly witch . Now let’s get back to the story . Her name was Belladonna .
There was only one problem . She really wanted a pet !!! No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t get a pet. She wanted a monster pet so badly !She wizard wanted a purple and blue spotted monster with sharp teeth and three eyes. Also with a computer head .
Then one day something magically happened . The with a long beard came. He said “I will grant you one wish with the power of my red staff and also my black wand “ Belladonna was excited “ I can finally get a pet” yelled Belladonna.
She told the wizard with a purple hat exactly want pet she wanted . Then the evil wizard vanished to a tall building deep in the rain forest near a cave .
As soon as the mean wizard left, the beastly monster was hungry. Guess who he ate belladonna ! The angry monster now lives in the broom stick shaped cottage and when witch’s come past the terrifying monster enjoys a feast by Trinity.
The last dragons
The battle
65 million years ago in a dry plain, a dragon lapped up a trickle of water from an empty riverbed. The dragon’s name was Ferno. It was mid summer and a drought had swallowed the entire of Europe.
His coppery-blue scales glinted in the sun. A boom rang out from behind a hill. Another boom. Another and another. They were coming closer. A gigantic head with a long snout appeared. A Baryonyx!
It clambered to the peak of the hill and roared. The message was clear. “Get out of my way.” Ferno growled. He reared up on his hind legs and slashed. It raked across the Baryonyx across the snout, but it didn’t seem intimated. It advanced slowly. Suddenly a shape hurtled down from the sky and smashed into the Baryonyx. The shape lifted off the ground and shot a jet of fire at the beast. It was another dragon! The Baryonyx backed off and roared in frustration. It turned tail and ran away. “Thanks” Ferno said. “No need,” The other dragon said. “Bronze sent me to find you.” Ferno gulped. Bronze was the leader of dragonclan, the last clan of dragons. “What is your name?” Ferno asked. “Flame.” She said
The leagues
Ferno entered the parliament cave alone. He bowed and flapped his wings. Bronze grunted. “Get up.” Ferno lifted himself off the ground and folded his wings. “ You have been chosen for the water league.” Ferno gasped. The water league created rain. They was considered the most powerful in this time of year since water was scarce.
“Report to them at midnight here. Dismissed,” Bronze said. “Oh, and get the red one.” “Flame?” Ferno asked. “Yes.” He exited the cave. “Bronze wants to see you.” Ferno said to Flame as he walked past. Ferno
walked around looking for a spare cave. He found one
embedded in a mountain. He entered and lay down. He closed his eyes.
Ferno opened his eyes. It was midnight! He stretched his wings and flapped to the parliament cave.
The entire water league was here along with the fire league, rock league and the wind league. They formed a circle with a gap in the middle. Bronze hovered above the gap. “Listen everybody!” He barked. “There are new league members today. I will introduce them. First up, Ferno of the water league.” Ferno stepped into the circle. “Second, Flame of the fire league.” Flame stepped in. “Arrow of the wind league.” A small whiteish-pink dragon stepped out and into the circle. “And lastly, Scales of the rock league.” A huge brown dragon walked in. “Please head to your groups for your first training session.
Training
Ferno flew to water league. The leader, Frostfire was waiting for him. “It’s time to learn the two rules of conjuring water,” He said. “No.1 Never attempt to make water, unless your told. No.2 Never fly into newly created rain clouds or thunder clouds.” Frostfire led him to a pool of water. “Your first training session is to swim underwater.” Ferno flapped up and dove down. His body hit the water with a splash. As he descended he noticed other dragons swimming through coral formations. He flapped his wings and shot forward through the water. Suddenly a blast rang out. Dragons shot out of the waterlike missiles. Ferno joined them, swimming in their wake. As they exited the water, they saw the problem.
Scores of meteorites streamed from the sky. One gigantic asteroid dwarfed the others. It descended slowly. Suddenly it sped up heading straight for the gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic ocean.(Dragons have better eyesight than hawks) Ferno heard a dragon roar: “Terra Firma!” A huge stand of rock rose behind him and arched forward smashing down in front of him, shielding the dragons. The rock wall trembled and a spot broke ad lava poured in. A dragon shot a orb of water at it and it turned into a hunk of obsidian.
Dawn of the humans
Ferno opened his eyes. The other dragons were sleeping. He walked to the stone wall. He poked it. He gasped as it crumbled. He peeked out. Outside, there stood a creature that he had never seen before. It was neither dinosaur nor bird. It had two long trunks on its side with a paw that had five stubby claws. It had two long legs, each with another set of paws. They had a flat face. In one of the paws, It held a long sharp stick. It shouted a war cry and charged.

The last of the time traveling pearl
30 years from now a brave young 8 year old girl named Ruby Redhead, lived with a little talking dalmation puppy called Andrea. Ruby was so lucky because she lived in a walking house. Well if you look she will be in the dining room under the golden chandler. Reading a book called the forgotten things of the world. Now that same book was the hardest book to read in the world. Ruby read it because she had only just university. Pearls were forgotten by this time. Ruby found a page with time travelling pearls.
One night Ruby and Andrea were crying (like every night.) Crying because Ruby misses her mum suddenly she had a light bulb idea!!! She would go to the beach and wrap her legs in pink seaweed.
Ruby did that exact same thing then jumped into the sea. “What I can talk under water?” the puzzled girl swam to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to find a small pink shimmering pearl 3 minuets later Ruby found a very chatty very pink pearl having a rude conversation with Coral . “Excuse me but - bla go away” “would you have any idea – oh hurry up you rude red head” “where the time travelling pearl lives? “OVER THERE!!!!!!!” yelled the grumpy pearl. So Ruby felling quite upset swam into the dark, freaky full of skeletons hole in the rock . “Hello” said Ruby “ hey” said a high voice in the shadows. “Would you please take me to my mum?” “okay but it might take a wile we will take off now.”Wizz “um pearl I … think we went to far back” “for starters my name is Alwyn and seconds I agree we did go back to far” wizzzzzz!!!! . “Way to far Alwyn pearl I mean we are in the cave days” “ugg ugg” said a dark figure in the horizon “oh no we gotta get out of this place” “again I agree” KABAM!!! They were out of there faster than thespeed of electricity. Ahh!At last just right we are at Wakaaranga school on the 28th of March 2014 oh there she is on the computer “hi Molly” “oh hey what who are you?” “Look this might sound crazy but I am actually your daughter” “okay I will take a risk and believe you.” “Quick move out of the way!!!!!!!” “Yyyou saved me.” “Alwyn pearl my work here is done.” “Ok” wiz “Alwyn pearl I have to go home” sobbed Ruby “I know how you feel” Alwyn burst into tears “ hey I know you are allowed to live with me” exclaimed Ruby “ well ok if you want to” “ of Corse I do .”
“Quick I’ll run home with you” zoom!!!!!! “What why are you here mum?” screeched Ruby “oh just like I told you 27 years ago you saved me so I am alive prety simple stuff”.
“Ahh another year at school over, my teacher was good”. I'll tell you about it.
The first couple of weeks were… well… okay, I was as nervous as a kitten being chased, we had to work as a team and that was hard thinking up ideas.
In the middle of the year I was getting a bit emotional but I did get better. I was a participating superstar. We did awesome activates like P.J. day, Te Tuhi and swimming.
And finally… Now. I started going to our kind principal Mr. Jenkin. I keep sharing and oral talking. I'm a great class monitor (sort of).
It wasn't such a bad year after all. I think I participated more than last year.
By Oliver. A twist in the tale
“Mum do I have to go to school? It’s to boring; however there were some fun thing’s. How about I tell finals, pyjama day and the soccer match.
One of my highlights was the dangerous speech Finals! My speech was about the Fifa World Cup, also when I preformed it I did it without my cards. George, Oil, Tom, Vanish, Jaden and me. Sadly Jaden won.
Yawn! Yay! Pyjama day, my dad was yelling at me like a lion cause I was still in my pyjamas. Eventually I was at school, I was in a gorilla onezee with a book called how the Zebra got his strips and a Lion teddy called Leo. I read my book to the class and took some pictures of us in our pyjamas.
(Err!) The game was on. Kicking, passing, dribbling. My favourite thing… The soccer match 5E and 5B VS 5F and 5D. IT was until Kurt scored making it 1:0 to us. In half ti me I had the ball, everyone was brunching around me when I toe picked it to Kurt and Kurt scored. Just then the game ended with a score 2:0 to us. Hooray!
School in year 4 wasn't so bad after all. Although do I have to go to year 5.

Ring ring the bell goes for home time as I say goodbye to my friends I remember those days of fun like clay animals, ICT Pyjama day and recorder
This year my favourite was clay animals. For planning we had to write things about what we like to do for example sleeping and lying around you might want to make a clay sloth. I figured I have a lot in common with penguins. I made my penguin look like it was gliding on the ice. I thought the wet clay felt like silk. Mrs Murray said my penguin looked realistic she said “Molly would you like to take your clay Animal to Mr. Jenkin ? ”
We also did a lot of ICT. We did blend spaces about our culture, advertisements for the gala, publishing stories, mathletics and storybird. This year learnt how to print my work. My favourite website was thinglink
I n term 3 all the fabulous year 4s came to school in their pjs “Hey Alwyn I have those movie star pjs at home” I didn’t like my onsie because on the playground a girl said my onsie looked stupid. We where aloud to bring a teddy to school. I brang Mr. beeps.
In term four we where learning to play the recorder. I didn’t like it when Mrs Freeman taught us some things that I already knew but she also taught me some new songs like jungle swing, Mary had a little lamb, dinner time and skateboarding.
This year was as awesome as a roller coaster at rainbows end.

Year four recount
“Yay” it’s nearly the Christmas holidays that means no school!! Ok since I’m in a good mood, I’ll tell you what I did in year four. We had a gala, P.G day and Move and groove.
Why is every body in pyjamas? Oh now I remember its pyjama day. On pyjama day everybody was wearing pyjamas and we got to share our favourite books and soft toys. The best part was buddy reading with the year two’s. Now I’m going talk to you about the gala.
Gala day is finally here!! I’ve been waiting for ages when we got there, their was almost no shops but after I stopped playing on the new play ground. All the shops were up I bought 14 mystery keys but I didn’t win I win I was so angry I went straight home. I’m going to talk to you about move and groove now.
Although there was some good things I sill hate school!!

Year 4 recount
Yay! School is nearly finished! This year wasn't all bad though, things like the gala, game day and the disco were good. I'll tell you about it.
The disco was in term 2. It was very noisy. There were hundreds of people dancing in the hall. The noise was deafening. It sounded like a herd of elephants stampeding. The disco ball was so bright I almost turned blind.
Game day was on the last day of term 2. Almost everybody brought games to play. I liked it because we did very little school work. I played Cluedo almost all day. At the end of the day we watched where the Wild Things Are.
The gala was in term 3.The streets were so crowded so we had to park very far away. I was so hot by the time I got to the school. It was twelve o’clock so people were going already. I played Laser Skirmish with You Dao and Frederick. Jant wasn't playing but he ran around jumping onto the blow up walls like a hyper active little bunny. I ate a cup of hot chips, but the person who made it put so much salt so the tomato sauce turned white!
This year was okay. Some things were good other things were bad. I hope next year will be like this year or even better.
Botanical Gardens Visit
On Tuesday the 4th of March smart 5b and not so smart 5d went to the Botanical Gardens to learn how to survive in the wild ,by orienteering, camping and tramping, we got there by the noisy bus.
My first annoying activity was orienteering
However me and my fantastic group got
Lost, because on the sheet of letters.It said
Ep but it was actually fp so we went everywhere looking for it, then we found out it was fp so,orienteering was annoying.
My second tiring activity was tramping, it was tiring because there were lots of steep stairs going up but at the top there were some great views,then we went down to the bottom and the 40min-30min
Walk ended I was so drowsy at the end,so tramping was tiring.
My third delicious activity was cooking sausages and wonderfully putting up the tent.First we cooked the sausages over a fire; me and Jamie [a friend in my group] were cooking together we cooked three mouth-watering sausages one for me,one for Jamie and one for my mum she came on the trip too.Next we put up the tent.It was hard work because it kept on falling over and it was a small tent and we tried to fit seven nical Gardens Visit people in it.
Then we took it down packed up and and went on the bus back to school after the trip I felt lazy,tired and most of all fantastic that I visited the Auckland Botanical Gardens.By Jason C
Along time ago an ugly, huge eared green alien crash landed on an unknown island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it was so hot and sandy.

Suddenly he saw a rich, smart, brown skinned boy sailing on a blue and green fast boat to the island. Five minutes later he eventually gets there and said”How
ya doing mate” shouted the boy. “Fine except my space pod is broken’ said the alien.’’I will help you fish for nuts and bolts. One hour later they finished the space pod and lived happily ever after.
From that terrible day on the alien never came back to earth and the boy well you will just have to wait and see

The last dragons
The battle
65 million years ago in a dry plain, a dragon lapped up a trickle of water from an empty riverbed. The dragon’s name was Ferno. It was mid summer and a drought had swallowed the entire of Europe.
His coppery-blue scales glinted in the sun. A boom rang out from behind a hill. Another boom. Another and another. They were coming closer. A gigantic head with a long snout appeared. A Baryonyx!
It clambered to the peak of the hill and roared. The message was clear. “Get out of my way.” Ferno growled. He reared up on his hind legs and slashed. It raked across the Baryonyx across the snout, but it didn’t seem intimated. It advanced slowly. Suddenly a shape hurtled down from the sky and smashed into the Baryonyx. The shape lifted off the ground and shot a jet of fire at the beast. It was another dragon! The Baryonyx backed off and roared in frustration. It turned tail and ran away. “Thanks” Ferno said. “No need,” The other dragon said. “Bronze sent me to find you.” Ferno gulped. Bronze was the leader of dragonclan, the last clan of dragons. “What is your name?” Ferno asked. “Flame.” She said
The leagues
Ferno entered the parliament cave alone. He bowed and flapped his wings. Bronze grunted. “Get up.” Ferno lifted himself off the ground and folded his wings. “ You have been chosen for the water league.” Ferno gasped. The water league created rain. They was considered the most powerful in this time of year since water was scarce.
“Report to them at midnight here. Dismissed,” Bronze said. “Oh, and get the red one.” “Flame?” Ferno asked. “Yes.” He exited the cave. “Bronze wants to see you.” Ferno said to Flame as he walked past. Ferno
walked around looking for a spare cave. He found one
embedded in a mountain. He entered and lay down. He closed his eyes.
Ferno opened his eyes. It was midnight! He stretched his wings and flapped to the parliament cave.
The entire water league was here along with the fire league, rock league and the wind league. They formed a circle with a gap in the middle. Bronze hovered above the gap. “Listen everybody!” He barked. “There are new league members today. I will introduce them. First up, Ferno of the water league.” Ferno stepped into the circle. “Second, Flame of the fire league.” Flame stepped in. “Arrow of the wind league.” A small whiteish-pink dragon stepped out and into the circle. “And lastly, Scales of the rock league.” A huge brown dragon walked in. “Please head to your groups for your first training session.
Training
Ferno flew to water league. The leader, Frostfire was waiting for him. “It’s time to learn the two rules of conjuring water,” He said. “No.1 Never attempt to make water, unless your told. No.2 Never fly into newly created rain clouds or thunder clouds.” Frostfire led him to a pool of water. “Your first training session is to swim underwater.” Ferno flapped up and dove down. His body hit the water with a splash. As he descended he noticed other dragons swimming through coral formations. He flapped his wings and shot forward through the water. Suddenly a blast rang out. Dragons shot out of the waterlike missiles. Ferno joined them, swimming in their wake. As they exited the water, they saw the problem.
Scores of meteorites streamed from the sky. One gigantic asteroid dwarfed the others. It descended slowly. Suddenly it sped up heading straight for the gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic ocean.(Dragons have better eyesight than hawks) Ferno heard a dragon roar: “Terra Firma!” A huge stand of rock rose behind him and arched forward smashing down in front of him, shielding the dragons. The rock wall trembled and a spot broke ad lava poured in. A dragon shot a orb of water at it and it turned into a hunk of obsidian.
Dawn of the humans
Ferno opened his eyes. The other dragons were sleeping. He walked to the stone wall. He poked it. He gasped as it crumbled. He peeked out. Outside, there stood a creature that he had never seen before. It was neither dinosaur nor bird. It had two long trunks on its side with a paw that had five stubby claws. It had two long legs, each with another set of paws. They had a flat face. In one of the paws, It held a long sharp stick. It shouted a war cry and charged.

The last of the time traveling pearl
30 years from now a brave young 8 year old girl named Ruby Redhead, lived with a little talking dalmation puppy called Andrea. Ruby was so lucky because she lived in a walking house. Well if you look she will be in the dining room under the golden chandler. Reading a book called the forgotten things of the world. Now that same book was the hardest book to read in the world. Ruby read it because she had only just university. Pearls were forgotten by this time. Ruby found a page with time travelling pearls.
One night Ruby and Andrea were crying (like every night.) Crying because Ruby misses her mum suddenly she had a light bulb idea!!! She would go to the beach and wrap her legs in pink seaweed.
Ruby did that exact same thing then jumped into the sea. “What I can talk under water?” the puzzled girl swam to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to find a small pink shimmering pearl 3 minuets later Ruby found a very chatty very pink pearl having a rude conversation with Coral . “Excuse me but - bla go away” “would you have any idea – oh hurry up you rude red head” “where the time travelling pearl lives? “OVER THERE!!!!!!!” yelled the grumpy pearl. So Ruby felling quite upset swam into the dark, freaky full of skeletons hole in the rock . “Hello” said Ruby “ hey” said a high voice in the shadows. “Would you please take me to my mum?” “okay but it might take a wile we will take off now.”Wizz “um pearl I … think we went to far back” “for starters my name is Alwyn and seconds I agree we did go back to far” wizzzzzz!!!! . “Way to far Alwyn pearl I mean we are in the cave days” “ugg ugg” said a dark figure in the horizon “oh no we gotta get out of this place” “again I agree” KABAM!!! They were out of there faster than thespeed of electricity. Ahh!At last just right we are at Wakaaranga school on the 28th of March 2014 oh there she is on the computer “hi Molly” “oh hey what who are you?” “Look this might sound crazy but I am actually your daughter” “okay I will take a risk and believe you.” “Quick move out of the way!!!!!!!” “Yyyou saved me.” “Alwyn pearl my work here is done.” “Ok” wiz “Alwyn pearl I have to go home” sobbed Ruby “I know how you feel” Alwyn burst into tears “ hey I know you are allowed to live with me” exclaimed Ruby “ well ok if you want to” “ of Corse I do .”
“Quick I’ll run home with you” zoom!!!!!! “What why are you here mum?” screeched Ruby “oh just like I told you 27 years ago you saved me so I am alive prety simple stuff”.

My year in year four
“Ahh another year at school over, my teacher was good”. I'll tell you about it.
The first couple of weeks were… well… okay, I was as nervous as a kitten being chased, we had to work as a team and that was hard thinking up ideas.
In the middle of the year I was getting a bit emotional but I did get better. I was a participating superstar. We did awesome activates like P.J. day, Te Tuhi and swimming.
And finally… Now. I started going to our kind principal Mr. Jenkin. I keep sharing and oral talking. I'm a great class monitor (sort of).
It wasn't such a bad year after all. I think I participated more than last year.

A twist in the tale
“Mum do I have to go to school? It’s to boring; however there were some fun thing’s. How about I tell finals, pyjama day and the soccer match.
One of my highlights was the dangerous speech Finals! My speech was about the Fifa World Cup, also when I preformed it I did it without my cards. George, Oil, Tom, Vanish, Jaden and me. Sadly Jaden won.
Yawn! Yay! Pyjama day, my dad was yelling at me like a lion cause I was still in my pyjamas. Eventually I was at school, I was in a gorilla onezee with a book called how the Zebra got his strips and a Lion teddy called Leo. I read my book to the class and took some pictures of us in our pyjamas.
(Err!) The game was on. Kicking, passing, dribbling. My favourite thing… The soccer match 5E and 5B VS 5F and 5D. IT was until Kurt scored making it 1:0 to us. In half ti me I had the ball, everyone was brunching around me when I toe picked it to Kurt and Kurt scored. Just then the game ended with a score 2:0 to us. Hooray!
School in year 4 wasn't so bad after all. Although do I have to go to year 5.
